Throughout their 10 years of activities the band experimented with a variety of different styles, such as rockabilly and surf-rock. Their lyrics–most of which were written by Asai–touched upon serious matters such as broken families and animal mistreatment, but also imaginative creatures and individuals made up in Asai’s mind. The band’s lineup remained consistent until breaking up in 2000. After the disbandment, Asai Kenichi created his own label, Sexy Stones Records, and founded the bands SHERBETS, JUDE and AJICO. Drummer Nakamura Tatsuya went on to concentrate on his LOSALIOS project, while bassist Terui Toshiyuki recorded material in bands such as ROSSO and RAVEN. In later years, he has also played bass on some of Asai Kenichi’s solo project releases.

D.I.J no Pistol
BLANKEY JET CITY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
そいつがあれば生きて行けると
思ってるオレはケツの青い 最新型のピストル
Baby なんていったって 23mmの銃口から
飛び出す弾丸は 真っ赤な野イチゴさ
分かるかい オレは殺し屋
魅力的なおまえの その白い足にミートソースをぶっかける
ダイナマイトを持ってきてくれよ
ガソリン入りのビンでもOK
息をひそめ ゆっくり火をつけて
何かとっても悪い事がしたい
Baby 日当たりのいい このガレージが オレの部屋さ
Baby 壁中に張りめぐらされた ジェット機の写真
Baby 裸でブーツを履いたまま 傾いたベッドで
眠るオレの名前は D.I.J.
ドキドキするような イカレタ人生
D.I.J.のピストル
ぶっぱなしたくなったら 呼んでくれよ
横から見ていたいおまえが それをやる時
メリーゴーランドのロバに向かって 両手を広げて話しかける
Baby そんなオレだけど 愛してくれるかい
どうやら 違う星から 迷い込んできたらしい
Baby そんなオレだけど 愛してくれるかい
Baby そんなオレだけど 愛してくれるかい
Oh baby 愛してくれるかい?
D.I.J.のピストル
The lyrics to BLANKEY JET CITY's song D.I.J.のピストル, which translates to "D.I.J.'s Pistol," tell the story of a hitman who believes that with a melon soda, a chili dog, and his brand new blue-buttocked pistol, he can survive anything. He boasts about his impressive weapon, which fires bullets that look like bright red wild strawberries. He knows he's a killer, but he can't resist the captivating allure of his target's white legs, which he imagines splattered with meat sauce.
The hitman longs to commit evil deeds and desires some dynamite and gasoline so that he can ignite it and cause some real trouble. His garage, which is filled with photos of jet planes, is his sanctuary, and he sleeps there on a lopsided bed wearing nothing but his boots. The hitman is known as D.I.J., and his life is wild and chaotic, but he finds solace in his pistol, which is like a heart beating in sync with his own.
The song's lyrics are haunting and unsettling, capturing the dangerous and erratic life of a hitman. The melody is frenzied and high-energy, adding to the song's overall mood of violence and desperation. Despite its dark theme, the song is a classic of Japanese rock and roll, a testament to the power of music to explore even the darkest corners of human experience.
